But few words need be said relative to the above ten rounds, the fact being that Colonel Boxer's fuses proved much too sensitive for ricochet firing, and gave Mr Whitworth's shells no chance of striking the ship laterally and and exhibiting their maxi mum power in twat direction, as the shunt shells had fortunately been enabled to do. Three more shells, en ricochet, from the shunt gun concluded the day's firing—No. 1. Grazed at 20 yards' distance and burst in ship. No. 2, Hit direct. No. 3. Burst at ship's water line, on the spot where the third shell from the commencement burst, and entered the ship the space of a timber's breadth abaft the former shell, crushing a timber and slightly enlarg" ing the aperture, The firing will be again resumed this morning with shells en ricochet, and some of Mr Whitworth's 21-inch shells will be fired with 51b. bursting charges. ineffective, as the results already developed and to be developed before the end of the year will clearly show. In truth, the nature of the negro cannot be changed by the offer of more or less money: all he desires is to eat, drink, and sleep, and perform the least possible amount of labour. The difficulties in procuring a fair amount of labour on plantations are insurmountable. In the first place, instead of hating a family cook for the whole body of hands en gaged in field work, each separate family and each indivi dual bachelor and maid must have a separate fireplace and cooking establishment going on—so that there are about 30 different cookahops on my place, consuming much of the time that Gen. Banks's orders directed to be given to the field, Again, I always had an hospital and nurses for the sick, and a children's house, with a good motherly woman to take care of the children, while their mothers were en. gaged in the field. Now, all is changed —not one when sick will go the hospital, or a child to the children's house, The result is that many of them lay up for days and weeks, when not sick, by hiding away, and when really sick re. quiring a well nurse for nearly every one sick. Now, anyone with the least attention can see that the loss of time must be enormous, and this loss, independently of the total lack of full time and faithful labour, when ostensibly performing their labours in the field. I am safe to say that Ido not receive more than half of what would be considered by any impartial judge as fair labour from the labourers 1 have employed. I have upwards of 100 labourers employed on my plantation, including old and young, but it is seldom that more than 60, of all grades, can be found at work. It may be asked why I do not apply to the provost-marshal, and have them brought to order. I answer that I have tried to get on orderly and efficiently as far as it has been in my power; but it would require the provost-guard to be constantly on the move to bring and continue things in any proper wet king order. Well, at the commencement of this year, 1864, I fell in with General Banks's orders, and made it the interest of my labourers to go on faithfully and make a good crop ; but the work was an up-hill business all the time. The result of the year's work is thus far known —viz., From 300 acres in cotton, less than 20,0001 b seed cotton; about one half, or at most two thirds corn enough to support the place another year ; of cane, after putting up for seed the amount ordered by General Banks, if I make 50 hogsheads of sugar, I shall be thankful. lam really fearful I shall not make enough to pay expenses of working the place, saying nothing of interest on capital. . . . In my remarks above I have said that the ordinary labourers engaged on my plantation before the war kept it in perfect repair and 'in good working order, but under the present order of things not a ditch has been dug—the old ditches and draining canals are all' being fast filled up with weeds, and grown up with bushes from 51t to 15ft high. The fences are all rotting down, the buildings are decaying and going to ruin, with no means of preventing or remedying the evil, for I cannot get half labour enough performed to work the apology for a crop as it should be worked. Such is the pre sent condition of things Wherever you look the eye rests on nothing but the relics of former things fast passing to destruction. No live thing can be raised with the least likelihood of enjoying it when grown.

Shell firing at the Alfred target frigate recom menced yesterday at Portsmouth from the Arm strong and Whitworth rifled naval '7O pounder guns, the Special Committee being represented by Major- General Randal Burnley (President), Capt. 'Wilson, R.N., and Capt. Singer, R.N. The Whitworth Ord nance Committee were represented by Viscount Tore rington,Mr Whitworth being detained in Manches• ter, at his works, in attendance upon Major-General Sir John F. Burgoyne and Major. General Todleben, The Elswick Ordnance Committee were unrepre• sented. Yesterday's firing was a continuation of the course commenced on the 4th inst., and reported in The Sun of the following day :—" To test percussion fuses with shell from the three guns against a wooden ship, 25 rounds from each gun to strike di• rect, and 25 rounds en ricochet." The conditions of the trial were the same—that is to say, the target ship and Stork gunboat (the three guns being mounted on the decks of the latter) were moored le the upper waters of Portsmouth harbour, 700 yards apart, the committee, with Captain Astley C. Ke y , C. 8., taking up their station on the deck of the Ere bus floating battery, which lay about 400 yards die. tant from and in line with tLe target ship, to watch the effects of each shell as it was tried. The Excel lent's double screw launch was in attendance along• side the battery, and at certain intervals in the firing conveyed the committee, with Capt. Key end staff, to and from the target ship to inspect the exact amount of damage inflicted by the shells, internally and externally. The firing on the 4th inst. reached to 12 rounds per gun out of the allotted 25 per gun of the direct firing. These were completed, and the firing en ricochet commenced. The following was the order of the firing :—Armst: ong shunt muzz'e loader ; shell, 411 b. bursting charge ; Armstrong ex. perimental fuse ; charge of powder. 101 b. Com menced en ricochet :-1. Hit direct and burst in the ship. 2. Grazed 40 yards from the ship, and burst on ship's side. 3. Grazed five yards from ship, and burst in her side at the water line. Nos. 2 and 3 shells had been pitched so favourably for doing their maximum amount of work on the ship, and hid so evidently done their work too, that the screw launch was put into requisition, and a visit to the ship made to inspect the damage. No. 1 shell, which hit direct, bad entered between two of the main deck beams, and, bursting a few feet inboard, had blown up the deck planking, &a. The main damage had, however, as was anticipated, been in flicted by the second and third shells. No. 2 had entered just over the shelf-piece of the orlop deck, and exploding in entering had blown the planking of the lower deck—six planks in breadth by eight paces in length—to matchwood. No. 3 had burst in the ship's side at and above the water line, and opened a hole about 4ft by 3ft, through which a man could easily crawl into the ship's hold from a boat alongside the ship. The water was rushing inboard in a moderate stream, and the ballast had therefore to be shifted over on the opposite side of the ship to give her a heel over to starboard and thus to stop the leak. Shell ricochet firing being found dangerous to the ship's powers of flotation, it was suspended for a time, and the " direct" firing gone on with, the shunt gun going on with the fir ing with the same description of shell, fuse, and the same amount of shell bursting charge and gun's powder charge. Ten rounds were fired from the gun, nine of the shells bursting in the ship, and one shell bursting prematurely directly after leaving the gun. The firing was next taken up by the Whitworth muzzle loader; shell, ib. bursting charge ; Colonel Boxer's fuse ; charge of powder, 10 lb. Thirteen rounds were fired to complete its quota of 25. All of them burst in the ship, and the majority of the shots were " in line" and the whole number in a small cluster. The shunt next fired two shells " direct," to com' plate her number of 25, and an inspection of the tar get ship was then made, Striking a wooden ship " direct" with shell causes but little external damage, the explosion of the shell taking place after passing through clear of the side and driving everything then before it on the vessel's decks. When the ship was ,:examined, at this stage of the firing, externally, yesterday, a small round patch of "ble zed'' planking, about the size of a crown piece, was all that told of the shell's terrific force on making its entree. Inboard the re sults were very different—the main deck of the ship, selecting it as the one on which the majority of the shells exploded, was one scene of destruction. Great gaps yawned under foot and over head in the plank ing, beams were riven and crushed out of their nor• mal positions, and the whole deck space was covered with splinters of every size and form. Pieces of the burst shells, and huge bolts and knees from the ship's sides, the latter being at the same time libe■ rally sprinkled with splinters of shells and hard wood from the ship's bitts and stanchions, Only a general conclusion could be arrived at, and that was to the effect that the damage caused by each shell must have been in proportion to its bursting charge. This, however, did not do quite justice to the Whit worth shells, which, allowing for the difference in their bursting charge as compared with the shunt gun, appeared to have done the most damage if measured by the power evoked in the bursting of the shells. The wedge gun next was brought into play to make its 13 rounds of direct firing, as follows : Wedge breech-loader; shell, 4: bursting charge ; Armstrong experimental fuse; charge of powder, 91b. All 13 rounds burst in the ship and equally destructive results with the previous firing ensued. Firing en ricochet was next opened with the Whitworth gun, and ten rounds fired, with these results :-1. Grazed 80 yards distant from ship and burst over. 2. Grazed 40 yards from ship and burst on graze, 3. Grazed 30 yards from ship and burst e b h u i r p s t a n i n d r p s . l o 6 n s G e c r o a n z d e d g r 3 a o z e y . srheicpt and burst. 7.

The screw frigate Chesapeake, 39, 400 horse power, was undocked at Chatham yesterday, after having had her hull below the water line coated over with a mixture for pre serving her bottom, During the time she was in dock she underwent a survey at the hands of the master shipwright's staff, but in consequence'of the hopelessly rotten and defec- Live state in which she was found to be, any intention to re pair her for future service was abandoned. The Chesapeake was one of the last of the old class of b 0 gun steam frigates —according to the former ratings of steamers—built at Chatham, and although only taunched a comparatively short time since, she is now altogether unfitted for anything but the shipbreaker's yard, her repairs, even supposing she could be made available for service, involving too great an outlay to justify the Admiralty in ordering them. Like the other similarly useless ships whichnow encumber the chan nel of the Medway. the Chesapeake will take up her station in what is termed 64 Rotten• row," until the Admiralty direct a clean sweep to be wade of the entire number of vessels, the reteneion of the names of which in the official Navy List is not likely to be attended in the most remote degree with any future benefit. The Scout, 21, 400 horse power, screw corvette, is ordered to be ready for the pennant by the end of the present month when she will be commissioned in the Medway, her desti nation being, it is understood, the 'West Coast of Africa. The official inspection of the Marlborough, 121, Capt. C. Fellowes, took place this morning at Spithead. At high water the ship will go into Portsmouth harbour to dis mantle and prepare for paying out of commission. Twenty two military invalids, in charge cf Lieutenant Winter, 2d Battalion 7th Foot, were disembarked from the ship yester day and forwarded to the great military hospital at Netley. so disembarked from the ship, y 1 under the command of A Lie c u o t m .

Thirty-eight naval invalids were sent from the ship to the Victory flagship in Portsmouth har bour, and 13 others were seat to the Royal Naval Hospital at Haslar. _ One of the Turkish corvettes, under conversion for steam power, in dock at Blackwell, is now nearly complete, and preparations are being made for her speedy return to Con stantinople, The whole of the dockyard stores, ship's boats, &0., kept in charge at Woolwich, were yesterday reclaimed and transferred to the ship. The whole of the continuous service seamen, 17 in num ber, berthed in reserve on board the flagship Fisgard, at Woolwich, were yesterday cleared out and despatched to Portsmouth to aid in manning her Majesty's ship Victoria sometime in commission. The Niger, Oberon, and Land rail are now ready for the pennant at Woolwich, but the difficulty of procuring seamen under the existing regulations will prolong the period of their commission and departure indefinitely. The number of second-class lads ordered to be entered on the books of the Fisgard and limited to 60 per week, seldom exceeds half that number ; and frequently, on account of the severe medical attestation, out of 20 or who present themselves some six or eight only are selected ; the aggrega' e number is consequently extraordinarily small, An epidemic has been raging for some time past at Wool wich, The most distressing cases have been among families connected with the Government departments of the Royal Arsenal and Dockyards. Mr Parkyn, Deputy Superinten dent of Military Stores, has lest four of his five children. Mr Stone, a civil offizer in the dockyard, has lost the whole of his children, three in number. The cause is supposed to be malaria, occasioned by the northern outran of the sewage at Barking-creek. At two-thirds flow the surface of the tide is covered with a dark pestiferous matter, proved to be a remnant of the ontfall cast back bofcre the ebb is sufficiently swept away. After each receding tide, and when the flood begins to make its appearance, the atmosphere along the river becomes insupportable. During the absence, on leave; of Brevet-Major W. B.

The following appointments were made yesterday at the Admiralty :—Lieut. W. S. Bailey to the Victoria ; John Lambert, assist.-surg., to the Espoir ; Arthur B.

SHREWSBURY AUTUMN MEETING. Mr Frail's gathering follows Liverpool with an easy and convenient transition— accommodating the owners of horses as well as the racing public, and, as it is the last (with the exception of Warwick) of the " flat" affairs of the season generally produces good sport and a large attendance. The card to-day was somewhat overcrowded for a November afternoon, nine races and a match being set for a decision. The Battlefield Handicap was an easy win for the Marquis of Hastings's light weight Catalogue, who cut down the two favourites, Queen of Trumps and Armadillo, at the finish in hollow style. There was a very good race for the Queen's Plate, which looked a very open affair for the two or three engaged, and resulted in a fine struggle between the favourite, Oldminster, and Dr Syntax, the latter win ning by a neck. Coup d'Etat could not act in the Shobdon Court Stakes, and Persuasion's fine turn of speed availed her nothing against that good horse Birdfinder, who is running into great form. The Carnival Nursery is always a prominent feature in the first day at Shrewsbury, and with the Gold Cup divides the honours. It brought out a fair field, and the warm favourite, Side Wind, with Jemmy Grimshaw (against whose rush there is no contending) " up," won from start to finish. Cambuscan, Lord Bur leigh, Catalogue, and Moulsey met for the Cup, and Lord Stamford's handsome son of Newmiuster landed the odds laid cn him without being extended. Mr Flail has made some extensive alterations and im_ provements in the arrangements of the stand. telegraph, &c., and the first day's racing augurs well for the success of the meeting.

Forester headed Confederate in a couple of strides, and made the running, the latter going on second with Arma dillo, Avondale, Queen of Trumps, and Concordia lying up —Overstone, who appeared outpaced, bringing up the rear, As they rounded the far turn Queen of Trumps ran past her horses and joined the leader, but running wide on entering the straight she was headed by Armadillo, Catalogue, and Concordia, who waited upon Forester to the distance,where the latter was beaten, and the lead was- at once taken by Catalogue, who wen in a canter by four lengths. There were three lengths between the second and third—Queen of Trumps was fourth—Cutaway and Confederate, side by side, were next.

Nell Digby cut out the work at her best pace, followed by Honest John and the Atherstone's dame colt ; then came Dr Syntax, Turn of Luck, and Rose, the rear being brought up by Vanquisher and Oldminster. They ran thus with no material alteration for a mile and a half, when Nell Nigby having performed her allotted task dropped away beaten, leaving the Atherstone's dam colt with a slight lead, which he held into the straight, whon he was joined by Dr Syntax and Oldminster. The three from this point ran in close company to the distance, when Oldminster ap peared to have a trifle the best of it, but Fordham persever ing to the end got up in the last stride, and won a fine race by a neck; a bad third; Turn of Luck was fourth, Honest John fifth, and Rose next.

Confidence and real unanimity will conduce to blessed results. PRICE „Id. STAMPED ....sd. stake. Winners extra. About three-quarters of a mile. 12 subs. Mr T. Wadlow's Warrior, 3 yrs, 7st 121 b (J.

A series of events, important not only to my family, but also to the whole empire, has occurred between the close of the last session and the present day, The acceptance of the Mexican Imperial Throne, with my consent, on the part of my brother, the Archduke Fer dinand Maximilian, now Emperor Maximilian I. of Mexico, has rendered necessary a settlement of the rights of the agnates thereby brought under consideration. . For this purpose I executed a family compact at Mira mar on the 9th of April in the present year, which my Go vernment is authorised to communicate to you. Betting-9 to 4 agst Sidewind, sto 1 each agst Rejection and Leoville, and IGO to 15 agst Yeatsall.

Lord Burleigh was the first away, followed by Moulsey, Animated by the earnest endeavour to assist in the pre servation and maintenance of general peace, I congratulate myself upon the good understanding and friendly relations existing between my Government and the other great Powers of Europe. I shall not cease to uphold these rela.. tions, and to do everything in order to preserve my empire, at present occupied with so many important tasks, from foreign complications. A subject of dispute for many years in the north of Ger many hes just been settled in the most honourable manner. The representatives of my empire will participate with truly patriotic feeling in my satisfaction that a close which contains the fulfilment of the highest expectations has been put to the war between the German . Powers and Denmark by the Treaty of Peace, signed at Vienna on the 30th of Oatober, and the ratification of which is expected in a few days. The courage of the allied troops and the navies of Austria and Prussia has conquered that splendid prize, and the wise and just forbearance of the neutral Powers has facilitated the final understanding. The high value of the unanimity between myself and my august Federal ally. the King of Prussia, has again been proved by memorable the favourite, and Catalogue in the order named to the turn past the stand, when Cambuscan headed Lord Bate man's colt and waited upon the leader to the half mile post, where he assumed the command, which he held into the straight, where Catalogue, who had improved her posi tion, took the second place as they neared the distance, but was never enabled to reach the favourite, who won very cleverly at last by a length; a bad third.

But I do not doubt that in the face of the glorious and happy solution of the question by which Germany has been excited to her inmost core the entire country will again find that concord which affords so powerful a guarantee for her own safety and welfare, as well as for the quiet and equilibrium of Europe. To my regret, the unfortunate in fluence which events in the Kingdom of Poland have recently exercised upon the countries bordering my empire have imposed upon my Government the necessity of undertaking exceptional measures in those countries for the preservation of internal quiet and for the protection of the persons and property of the peaceable population. They have been accompanied with successful results for the security of these imperilled interests. I have perceived with satisfaction that some a these measures have already shown themselves capable of being dispensed with, and I gladly give myself up to the expectation that they may be entirely withdrawn at no distant period. The finances of ray kingdom will claim your special attention. It was not possible that the unfavourable conditions which everywhere govern the European money markets could be without obstructive influences en the progress of the politico-economical and financial development of Austria. In this unmistakably d fficult situation the payment of the increased demands of the State has yet constantly been punctually provided for. The earnest striving to econo mise affords satisfactory expectation that when the extraor.' dinary State expenses still at present existing have been surmounted the disturbance in the finances and in the equilibrium of the Budget will at last be removed. Two Budgets will exceptionally be laid before you in the present Session—viz., that for the year 1865, and immediately after wards that for the year 1866. By this transitory measure it is intended to intrOuce a settled succession of time in the Sessions of the Iteichsrath and the Provincial Diets, and also irsure the possibility of concluding the labours of the Budget prior to the commencement of the financial year. The first financial law constituti , silty passed has been noluded in the general Budget for IH2. The last will be kid berore you in this session by my Government. I recom mend to yk ur especial et'ention the bills to be brought in for the regulation of the oirect taxation, the speedy operation of which is to be desired as much in the interest of a more just end equitable partition of the burden ct taxation as of a provision better corresponding to the demands of the State Your attention will also be directed to the consideration of other financial reeaeures with the of jest of improving existing laws, and the parti,l, not unimportant, alleviation of the burdens of the taxpayers. I mention in this cate gory a bill to lessen the poll.tax in my principality of Siebenbui gen. For several years past the politico-economical unity of Germany, which is designated in the 19th article ef the Federal Act as the object of the efforts of the Federation, has taken a more decided shape in later treaties, and one more in conformity with the requirements of the time. This question has engaged the full attention of my Go vernment. To bring about a successful solution of this problem, which is of importance to the Federal Diet, and greatly concerns the interests of Austria, negotiations have become necessary, which are now being conducted by my Govern ment with that earnestness befitting the subject. The result of these negotiations will be communicated to you by my Government, and I hope they will not be without favour able influence upon the establishment of the new Customs' tariff which is to come into operation in the course of this Session. Recognising the advantages which will accrue to my empire in every respect by the increase of means of commud nication, I have commissioned my Government at once to direct their uninterrupted and energetic labour to the pre paration of a plan for the formation of a network of railways sufficient for the wants of my kingdoms and principalities. Conformably to these views, my Government will bring before you a series of Bills in reference to the State guaran tee to several new railway undertakings. At any rate in the course of this session, and as soon as possible, a Bill will be submitted for constitutional consideration, having for its object the formation of a line to the principality of Tran sylvannia and through the interior of that country. With deep regret I have perceived the heavy pressure to which trade in my territories, as well as elsewhere, has been exposed—yet the advanced position it has already taken up induces me to hope that, sheltered by the blessings of peace, its own power and sound legislation, it will again attain a lasting and satisfactory development. Several Bills having reference to politico-economical in terests, as well as other matters coming within the province of the assembled Reichsrath, are being prepared by my Go vernment, to be laid before you, and will be brought in for discussion in the course of the Session. It is my wish, for the fulfilment of which your devoted zeal is a guarantee to see the question to which you are about to turn your attention speedily settled, since a series of important and voluminous bills have been prepared by my Government for the consideration of the lesser Reichsrath, whose return depends upon that condition. Honoured Members of my Reichsrath I While 1 dismiss you with the assurance of my Imperial favour and peace to the consideration of the important question before you, I am not unaware of their difficulties; but I have firm confidence that, with your counsel and assistance, I shall succeed in conducting th e empire in trusted to me by Providence with a strong hand towards a fortunate future. I derive this confidence from the love and fidelity, from the sagacity and st ren g th, o f my subjects, whom I recommend to the Almighty protection of Heaven, wishing from my inmost heart that their destinies may conduce to the happiness and fame of the common father land. BREAKFAST BEVERAGE. —Homoeopathic practitioners, and the medical profession generally, recommend cocoa, as being the most healthful of all beverages. When the doc trine of homceopathy was first introduced into this country, there were to be obt lined no preparations of cocoa either at tractive to the taste or acceptable to the stomach ; the nut was either supplied is the crude state, or so unskilfully m anufactured as to obtain little notice. J. Epps, of London, Homoeopathic Chemist, was induced in the year 1839 to turn his attention to this subject, and at length succeeded ' with the assistance of el a b ora te machinery, i n b e i ng the first to produce an article pure in its composition, and so refined by the perfect trituration it receives in the process it passes through, as to be most acceptable to the delicate stomach. For general use Epps's Cocoa is distinguished as an invigo rating, grateful breakiast bevera ge , p ossess i ng a m ost deli cious aroma. Dr. Hassall, in his work, "Food and its Adulterations," says —" Cocoa contains a great variety of im portant nutritive principles—every ingredicat necessary to the growth and sustenance of the body." Again "As a nutritive, cocoa stands very much higher than either coffee or tea." Directions—Two teaspoonfuls of the powder in a breakfast cup, tilled up with boiling water or milk. Secured in tin-lined and lib. labelled packets, and sold by grocers, tonfectioners, and chemists. - [Anv'r.] COLT'S REVOLVERS. —Since the war began the Government of the United States has ordered 75,000 of Colt's new holster pistols for their cavalry, artillery, and military train. The various Governments of our colonies, such as those of Natal, the Cape, New South Wales, and Victoria, have ordered the same weapon for cavalry, artil lery, and military train ; and in New Zealand and Otago the revolver carbines and pistols have been served out to the local troops engaged in hard work. If cavalry are to have fire-arms at all, a good heavy Colt is as good a weapon as they can have, and for artillery and transport service it is at least a very useful adjunct to ordinary Bra mament,—Ariny and Nary Gazette, /1~~~! TO THE EDITOR OF TH•E SUN. 3', Bisbopsgate-street Without, London, November 14, 1864. SIR, —I have much pleasure in sending the following letter, just received from Co:onel Chambers, the respected English secretary to General Garibaldi ; it may interest your readers.—l am sir, yours respectfully, JOHN RICHARDSON, Treasurer to Garibaldi Yacht Fund. (Copy.) _ . Caprera, 7th November, 1864. My dear Mr Richardson,—l have much pleasure in writing, by the General's directions to inform you that he accepts the yacht gratefully, and himself and the whole of the household anxiously expect her arrival. I will in form you of the arrival of the yacht, and give you all nows that I think may interest you in England. The General is looking very well and in excellent spirits, busy as usual all day gardening, but I am sorry to say as lame as ever, still using his walking stick. His two grandchildren are with him, and they give him much amusement by their talk and gambols—the eldest is a remarkably intelligent lad. I find Mrs Chambers is writing to Mrs Richardson. With kind regards from the General to you and Mrs Richardson, believe me, dear Mr Richardson, most sincerely yours, (Signed) J. H. CluottnEßs, YORKSHIRE STATUTE FAIRS.—The Martinmas Statute Fairs for the hiring of farm and domestic servants commenced at Mahon on Saturday last, when some hundreds of boys and girls presented themselves for hire, The statutes will not cease till the Monday after Martinmas at Thirsk. Following the example of the two past years the clergy of the district again opened the Corn Exchange, Melton, for the use of the female servants, free of charge, in order to separate them from the lads and the immorality of the open market place and the beershops. The success of the past year was still more so this, every respectable girl being found in the Exchange, where all comforts were gra tuitously provided. Some of the roughest of the sex still resorted to the open market, and seemed only too happy among the boisterous coarseness of the lads. It was note* worthy that both masters and mistresses preferred making engagements with those who did not " stand the market," and the efforts of the society for promoting the respectability of the female servants may be deemed very satisfactory, The farm lads attended in great numbers, but it is said that wages asked were so high that farmers made very few en gagements. During the day several well-dressed men— flash tradesmen—erected their stands in the market, These fellows reaped a rich harvest by selling to the unsuspecting lads "gold" watches, Fee., at "ruinous prices." One of these fellows had made a wager that he would give XlO,OOO away in halfcrowns, but he had to sell some article with every halfcrown given, About once in every dozen sales he forced a halfcrown in a purse which sold for ls,'and every time he apparently placed a halfcrown in the purse, but by dexterity of hand merely dropped in a halfpenny. Another fellow was engaged by the United Kingdom Alliance to draw young men from the publichouse and to prevent them investing their money on the "living skeleton," by selling them really useful articles (worth 2d) for the small sum of 6d, and so on. At length one powerful farmer's servant also gave is for a purse and a halfpenny (expecting he was 1 receiving half-a-crown), made a rush at the swindler, and quickly demolished his stock in trade. Scores of dupes fol lowed the example, and the result was two of the principal "philanthropists" took to their heels, taking different direo tions, but pursued at foxhunting speed through the streets by some hundreds of lads, yelling like wild Indians, One fugitive very soon was minus hat and coat, and was bleed ing from more than one wound, but the appearance of Mr Superintendent Harper caused a check to the pursuers, and the fugitive bolted down the yard of Messrs. Russell, which Unfortunately for him, seine of only led to the cover. his pursuers were after the fugitive by another entrance, and got him into a passage where, but for the interference of Messrs Russell' s m en, the y would have taken vengeance by putting him into the rive r . The crowd dispersed very unw illingly, most of them loitering abo ut for an hour or more. The other man soon took re fu g e in an ironmonger's shop, where he was let out at the back, but he was soon espied by his tormentors, and h ad to submit to be locked up in an ashpit for upwards of an hour, until his pursuers dispersed. The party, it appe ars, had a rendezvous at an hotel at Thirsklatlcor statutes,whence,ton„and h afterte otherda dark, to the,they Driffi depart e e i d a , one lot to the liii ings, to ply their nefarious trade. A SPIRITUAL JOKES—A captain of a militia company, encamped at Camp Hall, discovered a canteen of whisky in the possession ct one of his men, a night or two ago, and at once confiscated the fluid. lie placed it in his tent, and went out to invite some of his brother officers to partake of the spiritual comfort. Re turning with his shoulder-strap friends, who smacked their lips in anticipation of the treat, the canteen was reversed over the tin cups, and the health of the gallant Capt. C-- was proposed. The captain was the first to taste, but he quickly spurted the fluid from his mouth, and exclaimed, " By thunder, some one has changed the whisky to water." There was a laugh among the privates, but the captain did not join in it,—American paper. 1040 . P. 1040 rot .P. .010 rltv ar% et. I I 1•1 0 I .
